About this app

Photo Finish introduces an innovative automatic timing system designed to precisely measure athletic performance across a range of sports including track and field, soccer, American football, basketball, cycling, and many more!

Time your training sessions effectively using your smartphone! By detecting your chest while passing the camera, we ensure accurate times without false triggers from arms or thighs like with laser timing. This high accuracy enables you to make data-driven decisions to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and set realistic goals to optimize performance.

Create sessions with a Photo Finish pro subscription and invite your fellow athletes to join for free in the multi-mode for multiple measurement lines. Here are a few examples, but feel free to get creative with the five start types to time your activities:

- The Flying Start setting allows your max velocity to be timed in a flying 30-meter sprint for example. Or to see if you can maintain your top speed when approaching the stepstone before launching yourself for the long jump. Compare your past sprints to see how you’re progressing!

- With the Ready, Set, GO Start you can time three valuable aspects of sprinting in one go: Your reaction time out of the blocks, 10-meter drive, and 60-meter max velocity.

- The Touch Start can be used to measure your 150 meters to build volume.

Dive into the history section to see your data come to life. Export your results in CSV format to uncover trends, highlight consistent improvements, or spot areas of stagnation. Use these insights to fine-tune your workouts, whether you're aiming to boost speed, enhance endurance, or perfect your technique.

Besides functioning as a sprint timer, the app also allows you to time your agility drills across various sports, such as American football, soccer, basketball, and more. Imagine polishing your technique under time pressure, building greater confidence in your abilities.
Coaches can add the participating athletes in the automatic series mode. Once set, there's no need to interact with the phones during training. Voice commands announce the next athlete, and all performances are recorded hands-free!

Photo Finish is designed for user-friendliness and effortless setup. Devices connect and synchronize via Bluetooth and subsequently share their timing data over the internet, ensuring limitless transmission range.

We know you'll do anything to reach your peak performance. That's why we prioritize reliability and continuous updates to ensure our app always delivers.

I'm hoping it works! Fantastic idea. We did have issues with disconnection or the timer not starting the first try, but I think it was user error. The biggest disappointment with this app is it can only time one runner at a time, and any other runner on the track can mess it up. Please, developers, can we get a feature that allows multiple racers to be timed at once? And better yet, pick out one particular racer? Facial recognition-type tech, maybe? That would make this app 6 stars

I use this app as a highschool sprint coach. I would give it 5 stars if it worked as it should. It's an inexpensive app to time a set of athletes at practice! However, the ready, set, go start doesnt always say all three things. Sometimes it says two, sometimes three, and sometimes none. It might work fine for 10 athletes and not work for the 11th and 12th. They also need to add more tutorials explaining how to do different starting methods. I hope they will be able to workout the glitches!

i would give it 5 stars if the ready set go worked. im using a brand new samsung galaxy phone from 2025, but sometimes it says nothing, other times one or two things and somethimes but rarely it works. im using it outside for my football girls, but when it does not work, we cant use it. it says something about the microphone did not registered a sound, but thats true when the ready set go does not work. Hope to get an update that fixes the problem.
